What is the Office of Community and Student Relations?

We are the “off-campus people.” The Office of Community and Student Relations serves all members of the community of East Lansing (including students) with respect to MSU student-related topics. The Office of Community & Student Relations seeks to bring parties together to increase open communication and foster effective interactions among community members, particularly between MSU students and key stakeholder groups within the city and the university. This bridge-building and resource activity contributes positively toward the mission of maintaining and promoting a sense of connection between MSU students and neighborhood residents living in East Lansing and surrounding communities.
